Varying mechanical forces drive sensory epithelium formation.
Article in Science advances, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 33 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The mechanical cues of the external microenvironment have been recognized as essential clues driving cell behavior. Although intracellular signals modulating cell fate during sensory epithelium development is well understood, the driving force of sensory epithelium formation remains elusive. Here, we manufactured a hybrid hydrogel with tunable mechanical properties for the cochlear organoids culture and revealed that the extracellular matrix (ECM) drives sensory epithelium formation through shifting stiffness in a stage-dependent pattern. As the driving force, moderate ECM stiffness activated the expansion of cochlear progenitor cell (CPC)-derived epithelial organoids by modulating the integrin α3 (ITGA3)/F-actin cytoskeleton/YAP signaling. Higher stiffness induced the transition of CPCs into sensory hair cells (HCs) through increasing the intracellular Ca
